Well!! How Rude

I spent a very relaxing morning in the company of some wonderful friends ( such a welcome distraction after the last few days) ......the weather was perfect for strolling round the grounds of a nearby country house and just listening to the birds gently serenading us as we chatted :-)
There were so many photos to choose from but I've selected this cheeky monkey because he made me laugh.........There are a few extras, the first of which is the cutest baby squirrel that was not really afraid of us at all and just sat under a leaf until we went by.......second extra is a couple of bunnies that clearly didn't read the sign ( inset) ...........the third extra is a small collage of some of the beautiful flowers ( wild and cultivated ) that adorned the borders and the last on is a small section of a tree ( I couldn't fit all of it in with the lens I had on ) that was so laden with gorgeous blossom it hung really low over the pathway :-)))
